Around 1,000 mourners gathered in Dublin this morning for the funeral of campaigner Christine Buckley.

The congregation heard how amid the clamour of denial, a "tiny voice" won freedom and vindication for many others who had been abused.

Ms Buckley died in St Vincent's Hospital in Dublin on Tuesday, following a long battle with cancer.
